The Australian Senate Select Committee on Supermarket Prices is investigating allegations of price gouging by supermarket giants Woolworths and Coles. The inquiry has witnessed tense exchanges, notably between Woolworths CEO Brad Banducci and Greens Senator Nick McKim. Banducci has been accused of evading questions regarding the company's profits and has been threatened with contempt and potential jail time for non-compliance. An interim review of the supermarket code of conduct has recommended billions of dollars in fines if sustained price gouging is confirmed.
